    Yeah, no. I was a huge fan of Wipeout HD back on the PS3 because it could do really cool things with the CUSTOM music playlists I built and that game supported stereoscopic 3D right off the jump, those features are not available anymore.

I was a huge fan of Wipeout HD back on the PS3 because it could do really cool things with the CUSTOM music playlists I built and that game supported stereoscopic 3D right off the jump, those features are not available anymore.

    The biggest complaint I have is that the music from my PS4 Media server doesn't get the same effects as the music in game. That the developers didn't try to have the game actually read from the server like they did have it do back on the PS3.

    Stereoscopic 3D has been removed, I was able to restore it with the features of my 4K 3D TV. However, not everyone here can afford a $3,000+ TV.

    What the developers did is... they basically took a handful of features out of the game, features that were available back on the PS3 version... to pave the way for 4K. That's NOT ok, and you guys deserve this review.

    Media Server flaws aside, The sound/music doesn't reverberate even using the default music playlists they've given us and the whole experience feels much flatter because of it.

    I've messed around with the music/sound settings switching between tv, night mode, and surround sound and it changes absolutely nothing.

    The controls feel better on the PS4 controller. The gameplay is solid, and if your TV has the ability to *force* stereoscopic-- then the game is also 3D. The graphics are better too. The sound design absolutely kills the feel of the game though and I don't see myself playing this much when I still have the PS3 version.

    The short of this review is:

    If you have the PS3 version and you're an audiophile that doesn't really care for better graphics, then stick with the PS3 version. If you're a graphics first kind of guy that also doesn't care about 3D support, or having custom playlists that interact with the game then this is a great buy for you and you shouldn't listen to this review.

    (You can use Spotify or the built in media server, but it won't interact with the game like it would back on the PS3)

    I'm really hoping that the developers see this review, that they patch in some kind of fix that allows the game to read from the media server or Spotify, and then i'll update my review to a 8/10. I don't like being stuck with the developer's choice for game soundtrack when it wasn't how things were eight years ago. I personally don't care how many thumbs down this review gets. This is my honest review, as I just bought a game that doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the September 2008 release did. I mean, GJ on you guys for implementing 4K, that's going to net you all your positive reviews as PS4 Pro users scramble to find 4K content on their newest console investment. Make it worth their time and money, right? But for those of us who simply don't care, and have been using 4K since 2007... we probably want the same bells and whistles.

    One could say that this is more a slam against Sony's abandonment of internal media server support in favor of forcing us all to use their cloud media streaming services... but if that's true, then SIE would have made the game compatible with Spotify or the media server in the first place. Instead, it's on the game developers for not developing support for the media server.    … Expand

    If you have a 4k TV / PS4 Pro and want to show that off, this game is for you. The graphics are amazingly smooth, and you can even read the text on the sides of the ships at high speeds! Framerate never drops, and this is important since the races are always fast! Photo mode really makes this neat too!

Photo mode really makes this neat too!

    Unfortunately, for everyone else, this is a hard pass. For newcomers, the 3 (technically 2 since Fury was DLC) games completed are too different to switch back and forth with as far as turning controls, and they're too similar to not get bored grinding to unlock everything. It's a great entry point into the franchise, but that, along with some other frustrations like no training mode or crash course mode will cause a slight learning curve.

    For veterans, this will most likely piss you off that there hasn't been a new Wipeout game in 5 years (9 if you didn't buy a Vita.) Playing the same games you probably already bought before with a worse soundtrack and missing features isn't exactly a triumphant celebration of the Wipeout series.

    Since there isn't a narrative to these games, a "greatest hits" compilation of tracks/music/ships from all across the series with one game engine would be much preferred. Instead you have a remaster that doesn't really know where it stands between diehard fans and newcomers.    … Expand

    Vieja gloria de la época de los 32 bits, pese al lavado de cara el resultado es tan pobre como obsoleto

    Meh, a product of its time. not fun, i'd maybe wait til its free on PS+ before wasting any time on this. Sad it wasn't better. If It had more content id give it a higher score.

    La grafica è indecente, i controlli sono responsivi ma la maggior parte delle volte non fanno quello che dovrebbero. Gli avversari continuano a tagliarvi la strada ogni volta che cercate di girare e quando sono primo mi spawna qualcuno dietro e mi fa perdere sempre. Se parti male devi per forza ricominciare la gara perchè non c'è possibilità di rimontare

    It's still sad that Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool is no more, but if Omega Collection proves a test-run for the new developers to handle a brand new, original WipEout, then the franchise looks to be in good hands.

    Some dated ideas are masked by the visual makeover, but WipEout still plays and looks like nothing else. If you have the patience, The Omega Collection will reel you back in. [Aug 2017, p.91]

    WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic update that runs as smooth as a supersonic hovercraft.
